Clown Motel is another of many little indie ideas finding its feet on
Kickstarter. Looking like rubber-faced Killer Klowns from Outer Space,
the horror genre has always had a run of luck with clowns. From Captain
Spaulding, to Stitches, to Poltergeist, and the eerie moment in Jean
Rollin's The Iron Rose, Pennywise, Lon Chaney in He Who Gets Slapped
(yeah he was scary to clownphobics!!) I could go on. My point is that anyone
coming up with clowns gotta come correct.

So step right up, Joseph Kelly and Clown Motel on the aforementioned
Clown Motel Kickstarter, which is to star stuntman/actor Casey Hendershott (The
Walking Dead, Navy Seals vs Zombies, The Last Witchhunter),
Angie Stephenson (Sons of Anarchy) and the director himself who has had
roles in underground flicks like Mangle Me, and was involved in producing
Wrestlers vs Zombies.

A group of young adults take a road trip to Las Vegas. "Lady Luck" is NOT on
their side when they end up stranded in the middle of nowhere. They decide to
seek refuge in a deserted Clown Motel, in hopes that somebody will come
along to help them. it turns out that the place is cursed, and they unwittingly
unleash an evil clown spirit...

The locations look so cool. Some are shown on their
Facebook Page and as far as some clown failures in the past (Clownhouse
and Torment anyone?) this one looks like it could deliver some chills.
